Forgot to upload this one:

[2 x detuned saw-oscillators with/without PW]

...Which shows the difference between: a) two x detuned saw oscillators with pulse-width modulation, and then b) without the PW modulation.

Both in mono, and no unison used. Definitely livelier and fatter. w00t. Even beats Hypersaw.

I reckon the JP8000 uses some form of PW for at least a few of the individual saws that make up the supersaw. You don't need to modulate PW via LFO like I did in the examples above, instead you can have individual saws at various static pulse-widths so there's no 'movement' but it's still phat (but not 'overwhelming', like what would happen when doubling up on unison).

My Z1-card unfortunately only has two main oscillators, but imagine three oscillators with individual PWs! Or seven, like the supersaw.
